Indiana households are seeing some of the steepest electricity price hikes in the Midwest, with rates jumping 11.5% in just a year. The surge is largely tied to the rapid growth of data centers—those massive buildings powering AI and cloud services—which are gobbling up energy and pushing up costs for everyone. Utilities are also investing in new infrastructure to keep up, and those expenses get passed on to us. With AES proposing even higher rate hikes in Indianapolis, it’s got a lot of folks wondering: How much more can we expect to pay, and what’s the real solution here? #Business #Industry #Indiana
